Default psa - when you finally retreive your radio code...

just write it on the top of the radio with a sharpie and save the trouble next time.

Default Yeah... the thieves will appreciate that... :)

FWIW, my RNS-E NAV arrived from Germany that way, even though it included the original code card too.

In all seriousness, you're right. I don't think a factory Symphony I unit is a particularly high theft item any longer.

Default i dont mind the concept of the code

but if you lose it the dealers shouldn't be such ****** about helping. BH wanted $60, AG wanted $120 (full hour of labor, and even had the ***** to tell me it would take 15 min to look it up). rusnak wanted $69. finally, one of the dealer techs did it for free after we chatted for a min.

all the need is the engraved serial number from the side and your vin. problem solved.

Default Found mine yesterday. It was on a card under the floormat (m)

and the code was different from the one in the manual. Never had my radio replaced....and I definitely didn't put the card under the floormat. Oh well, at least now I'm no longer driving in silence!
